Two healthcare technology leaders, one forum, endless possibilities

With reforms mandating high-quality care at reduced costs, healthcare organizations face very similar challenges. Many have turned to healthcare IT for solutions.

Representing healthcare systems from across the country, this year’s attendees at the OnBase+ Epic User Forum have even more in common: they all integrate OnBase by Hyland’s enterprise content management (ECM) with their Epic solutions to improve efficiency and performance at their respective organizations.

And, for two days this July, not only will this unique group have an opportunity to mine the wealth of informationoffered by their peers, but also Hyland and Epic’s leadership.

Pairing structured programming with informal networking opportunities, the OnBase+ Epic User Forum convenes at Cleveland’s new Global Center for Health Innovation July 22 and 23. Specifically designed for users of OnBaseand Epic, the forum features sessions for every OnBase + Epic customer, from system administrators to executives.

This year’s agenda includes breakout sessions, panel discussions with industry-leading CIOsand executives as well as presentations on current trends, best practices and solution enhancements inspired by last year’s forum. Keynote speakers include The Cleveland Clinic’s IT Division CIO and Chairman, Dr. C. Martin Harris, as well as Hackensack University Medical Center’s CIO, Dr. Shafiq Rab.

Enjoying a collaborative relationship for the past 10 years, Hylandand Epic combine healthcare industry experience and proven technology to produce effective business solutions for our mutual customers, as nearly half of all Epic customers are also OnBase customers.

We’re looking forward to seeing them all at the OnBase + Epic User Forum, July 22 and 23.
